I am a proud Hilbert Hawk and Criminal Justice graduate.  My division educates the first responders off tomorrow.  Please consider the following:  I hope this fundraising effort is successful in that it supports our students who are facing the most challenging time of their lives right now.  They have been thrust into unfamiliar territory as they are forced to take their courses in a new and challenging online environment.  They need our support now more than ever.  Many are unable to work due to Covid-19.  Therefore, they face the added burden of being able to pay their tuition.  Hilbert is deeply rooted in Franciscan heritage and that means, in short, taking care of one another.  I sincerely hope each student can experience the respect, service, hope, vision, joy, integrity, compassion, and peace our institution strives to provide to them. Thank you for your support.
